Shannon,
    I know that DS does retain the closed captioning on line 21 because we output that way all the time, and make Mpeg2's that work with closed caption TVs just fine. As long as you can see that the CC is in the 720x486 image when it's captured in DS, and you make sure that you output 720x486 to an AVI or QT (or even better an AVI/QT reference), then that same line should remain in the resultant files. However, if your output card on the other system is 720x480, then you may have a problem, as the first line of a 720x480 (DV type image) is line 23 - that's where you should start investigating, as it may be cropping those first 6 important VBI lines, and loosing all the closed captioning data.

We have an Adobe Premier system with a black magic card in it.  We are doing some closed captioning and trying to output uncompressed avi’s of the spots for a client.  We digitize the cc’d spots from digibeta into the premier system and the captioning is there.  Line 21 comes into the system.  But no matter which codec we use, compressed or uncompressed, when it spits out an avi or quicktime, the line 21 info is gone.  Is there a reason for this?  Can we keep it from tossing the info on output?
